As the title suggests, do you think Michael Schumacher can rack up that last elusive win before he retires?
Form and the Mercedes car itself suggests that he can’t, but I’d argue that he’s more likely to than Nico Rosberg, should the Mercedes come good at any point.
Equally, retiring in 2006 seemed to spark an extra gear in performance for him, particularly at Brazil.
I’d say he won’t win another GP, but he won’t disgrace himself earlier, and it’d be great to see him on the podium once more somewhere.

So I’d like to see him win just once, but its looking pretty unlikely

I mean, unlikely, but it would be the cherry on the top of an amazing season.

5th October 2012, 12:02 at 12:02 pm #211743EstesarkParticipantI agree with @necrodethmortem – I wouldn’t want to see that, and I’m sure none of those drivers would give up a win for him. I suppose Rosberg might, but that’s it.

5th October 2012, 16:09 at 4:09 pm #211745DaveF1ParticipantAs much as I would love to see him take another win I don’t see it happening unless there is a pile up that takes up most of the front runners or there is a dramatic change in the weather and Schuey happens to be on the correct tyres.
